Atlanta is the largest city in the southeastern United States and the fastest growing area in the nation since 2000. Atlanta also ranks third in the number of Fortune 100 companies headquartered within the city. With such a large business community, Atlanta is a natural fit to host the 2009 Reaching Out MBA Conference. Atlanta has a very large and active LGBT community and a city government that works hard to maintain a policy of “Opportunity, Optimism, and Openness” for everyone.
Atlanta offers a range of entertainment options including shows at the historic Fox Theater, exhibits at the High Museum of Art and the Atlanta Botanical Garden, and recreation in Piedmont Park.
